In the same manner, the PCP expresses its profound repudiation and concern regarding the repressive measures taken against the popular movement demonstrating in the streets and the setting up of an information blackout and curtailment of freedoms by the perpetrators of the coup, bringing to memory a recent black past of fascist military coups in Honduras and in Central and Latin America in general.

The PCP, while supporting the wide international condemnation of the coup and the vast solidarity actions with the Honduran people, mainly by Latin American revolutionary and progressive forces, alerts to any manoeuvres that, under the cover of a formal condemnation of the coup d’état which overthrew the Honduran president, Manuel Zelaya, seek in fact to legitimize the aims of this anti-constitutional action perpetrated by the oligarchy and the most backward forces in Honduras, in line with the attempts by imperialism to suppress and reverse the processes of emancipation and cooperation among peoples that today blossom in Latin America and the Caribbean.
